The rating is mainly for the gorgeous animation, the cute humor, the references, and a fun cast of characters. Let's not pretend we're getting a deep script or an interesting reflection of some aspect of life told through cinema.

No, what we have here is a love letter to little kids and the people who have been with this franchise since its inception. You can even look at it as an apology for that pile of shit from the '90s. Because of its lack of substance as far as story goes, there are scenes where it's pretty obvious they have to pad this out somehow, but even with that you're rewarded for your attention with some great visuals and in-jokes. I was one of the people who didn't give a shit about who was casted in what roles and at the end of the day, it didn't really matter. Everyone is either fine or flat out stellar, with Jack Black as Bowser falling into the latter category. Nobody is particularly annoying or kills the movie. Overall, when you picture what a Mario movie would entail, this would be it. If you want high cinema, this isn't it. If you go into it with your inner child in control, it's absolutely a fun experience.
how date you throw shade at the 90s Mario masterpiece
